INVENTOR "W i ATTORNEY Patented Apr. 28, 1931 UNITED STA'ES SAMUEL JASGUB,-OF BROCKLYN, NEW YORK WINDOW-SHADE HOLDER Application filed June 1,

' My invention relates to window shade supports and refers particularly to devices of this character capable of being raised and lowered within a window frame. I

The object of my invention is a window shade holder capable of carrying a window shade which can be lowered or raised within a window frame, thus allowing the lowering of the upper sash and a corresponding lowering of the window shade roller, whereby free access of air is possible through the opened window directly into the room and above the shade roller, while allowing the use of the shade for the closed portion of the window.

My invention includes certain valuable elements whereby the roller will be held in a horizontal position although operated from only one end thereof, and whereby the device 20 may be readily removed from the window frame. F

' The novelty and valuable features of my device will be evident upon a consideration of my specification and its accompanying 25 drawings. 1

.In the accompanying drawings illustrating one form of the device of my invention, similar parts are designated by similar numerals.

Serial No. 282,061.

Figure 8 is a section through the line 8- 8 of Figure 7.

Figure 9 is a perspective view of the elements of the clampin device of my inven tion.

The particular form of the device of my invention shown in the accompanying drawings comprises two horizontal supporting bars 10 and 11, having a plurality of threaded holes 12, 12 therein. Carried by the two bars 10 and 11 is a channel iron 13 having slots 14, 14 therein. Screw bolts 15, 15 passing through the slots 14, 14 and threaded within the holes 12, 12 maintain the two bars 10 and 11 in fixed position with each other and at desired distances from each other.

The supporting bar 10 is bent into the side arm 16 pivotally attached at 17 to the bar 18 which is in turn attached to the window frame 19 by the screws 20, 20. Fixedly attached to the bar 16 is the bar 21, to which is pivotally attached the link bar 22. This pivotal attachment is made by means of a lug 23 of the bar 21 (Figure 4) extended into the smaller cylindrical lug 24 carrying't-he pin 25. The bar 22 has the annular hole 26 which is elongated into 'a slot-shaped hole 27. The pin '25 is capable of insertion through the hole 27 and is retained from displacement when the bars 21 and 22 are revolved upon this pivotal connection.

The bar 22 is pivotally connected at 28 to the extension 29 of the sleeve 30 which is slidable over the guide bar 31 and held in position thereon by the set screw 32.

The guide bar 31 is slidable within th supports 32 and 33 fixedly attached to the window frame portion 34' and passes through an opening within the support 35, also attached to the window frame portion 34, and is maintained in any desired position by the wing set-screw 36.

The pivotal connection between the bars 16 and 18 is accomplishedby a lug 37 carried by the bar 18 capable of placement through the opening 38 of the bar 16"(Figure 5).

The supporting bar 11 is bent into the side bar 39 (Figure 7), corresponding to the bar 16, pivotally attached to the guide-support plate 40 by means of a lug 41 of the plate 40 entered within an opening 42 of the side bar 39. The side bar 39 has a rectangular hole 43.

The guide-support plate 40 has an arcshaped opening 44 and is attached to the window frame 45 by means of screws 46, 46, 46.

Positioned between the window frame 45 and the guide-support 40 is a clamping means comprising a clamping bolt having a threaded portion 47 extended into the annular portion 48, the shoulder 49 and the rectangular end portion 50 capable of fitment within the opening 43 of the side bar 39. Theshouldcr 49 passes through the opening 44 within the guide support 40. A spring 51'is positioned between thethreaded disc 52 and the washer 53 which abuts upon the guide support- 40.

As the disc 52 is threaded downwardly upon the bolt 47 the tension ofthe spring 51 causes additional friction between the shoulder 49 and the guide support; 40,.thus reducing. the ease with which the side barv 39 will revolve upon the pivot lug 41.

A window curtain, or shade, 54 is carried by an ordinaryspring shade roller 55 which is carried by the rectangular opening 56 of the side bar 16 and the annular opening 57 of the side-bar 39.

The operation of the device is as follows:--

When the upper window sash .is raisedand it is desired to have the window shade cover the entire window, the rod31- israisedtoits upper limit and clamped in position by the set-screw. 36. Thedevice is then .inthe-positionshown in dotted lines in Figure -6,-

When the upper. widow sash. is somewhat lowered, the-rod3l is lowereduntilthecurtain is practicallyat' the same height. as-the upper portion of'the window sash,.when the device will be inthe position shown-in Figure 1 and 6. This-will allow freeacoessof air through the openwindow while allowing theuse of the curtain over the closediportion of the window.

The clamping mechanism is so. arranged that the bar 39 will move readily. withthe other elements ofthe device butwillbe frictionally maintained from accidentaldropping due to the weight of' the curtain and device.

When it is desired to remove operating means for purposes of changing. the shade roller or for washingthe windows, the two side arms 16 and 39 are pressed inwardly thus releasing them from the pivot-lugs 3? and 41 and the arm 21 is removed by revolving it around the arm; 22 until the pin 25 can be withdrawn through the opening27.

It will thus be seen that my device presents a window shade device by which the shade rollercan be lowered to allow free access of air above it, in-which the shade isheldhorizontally and which can be readily. removed from the window frame if desired.

I do not limit myself to the particular size,

shape, number and arrangement of parts as shown and described as these are given simply as a means for clearly describing the device of my invention.

hat I claim is 1. In a window shade holder, in combination, a horizontal supporting member having two ends which are bent atright angles thereto, means for pivotally attaching one end of said supporting member to a window frame,

a-guide-support having an arc-shaped opening, means for attaching said guide-support to the opposite window frame, means for pivotally attaching the other end of said sup porting member to said guide-support, means two ends which are bent at right anglesrthere-i to, meansfor. removably pivot-ally attaching one end? of said supporting. member to; a window frame-, v a guidersupport. having an arc-shaped opening, means for attachingsaid guide-support'tothe opposite window frame, means for removably pivotally; attaching-the other end of said supportingmember tosaid guide-support, means capable of guidin'gssaid supporting member within: said. arc-shaped opening, spring means for varying; the amount of' force; necessary to; move said other end within said arc-shaped opening, means for supporting. a-- shade roller: between the; two bent ends: of the horizontal supporting member, a vertically movable guide rod, means-.- for supporting said. guide rod to a window frame in a verticaliposition, means movable: along said. rod, link. means connecting said movable means with. said vertical supporting; means, so, positioned: that the movement. offthe movable means. will cause a shade roller carried by the device to assume raised and lowered positions within a window frame. carrying the device and means for fixedly"positioning said movable means at any desired position upon the guide rod.
